Ponderings

I've learned
that life is fragile;
that plans may go astray.
No matter our intentions,
... we live from day to day.

I've learned
that life is filled with changes;
only God remains the same.
There are few second chances;
beauty fades as fast as fame.

I've learned
that no man is an island;
that there is no place flee.
We all remain connected
if we opens our hearts to see.

I've learned
raised brows and whispered comments
are rarely missed from afar;
they always seem to say
you're not as nice as you think you are.

I've learned
no matter where we travel
or how far away we roam,
one day we will all look back
and wish that we were home.

I've learned
that sometimes when we look inward,
we may not like what we see.
Any change we wish to make
begins with a person called, Me.

I've learned
each of us, at some time,
has a dream that will never come true.
It's only when we close our minds
that we miss the dreams that do.

I've learned
sometimes the world around us
is viewed through biased eyes.
Only those who seek the truth
will find that they ve grown wise.

I've learned
that even as the night fades,
the dawn of day draws near,
and if we call upon the Son,
we know that he will hear.

I've learned
that we should always seek
His blessing and his grace
and share with him the joy
and the sorrow that we face.

I've learned
that nothing in our lives
is ever hidden from His sight,
and even on the darkest night
He is our Guiding Light.

"Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message."

"In some ways, it's those of us who are most familiar with the Spirit's promises who are in the greatest danger. Someone has said that familiarity may not breed contempt, but it takes the edge off of awe. Something like this is true about the rich texts and glory-filled promises that drop the jaws or widen the eyes of newcomers but provoke no more than a raised eyebrow in the old-timers who have ceased to dream."

- Jim McGuiggan in "Where the Spirit of the Lord Is ..."

The Hero is one who kindles a great light in the world,
who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.
The Saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light.

"It is not the uniqueness of 'Christianity' as a system that we defend, but the uniqueness of Christ. ... So, because in no other person but Jesus of Nazareth did God first become human (in his birth), then bear our sins (in his death), then conquer death (in his resurrection) and then enter his people (by his Spirit), he is uniquely able to save sinners. Nobody else has his qualifications."

- John R. W. Stott from an interview in "Christianity Today"

"You are a most beautiful person.
Don’t look at the mirror to admire yourself.
You are most beautiful because you are unique,
there is no one like you on this earth.
No one can be compared with you.
So don’t compare yourself with others.
You are most beautiful, be aware of this.
You are wonderful, be aware of this."
~ Swami Rama

~ Promise Yourself ~

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
Christian D. Larson

"Any woodsman can tell you that in a broken and sundered nest, one can hardly expect to find more than a precious few whole eggs. So it is with the family."

- Thomas Jefferson

nChrist · Oct 10, 2011

"To be forged upon the anvil of God's purpose, to be at once His hammer, His tongs, and His molten iron; to hear words that rend the heart, see visions that pierce the chest; to be emptied like an urn, again and again and again until one desires only rest, only an end to the refilling -- and to know one cannnot live without the refilling. To be given words that one dare not speak, and to feel those words churning and boiling in the belly until one must speak them aloud, or die. To be despised, soon or late, by everyone except Adonai -- and to desire it so, while hating it. This is to be a prophet."

- Thom Lemmons from "Daniel: The Man Who Saw the Future"

"It seems to me, as time goes on, that the only thing that is worth seeking for is to know and to be known by Christ -- a privilege open alone to the childlike, who, with receptivity, guilelessness, and humility, move Godward. "
